Does this mean what I think it does? (14)

I volunteer weekends at an animal shelter. I've been doing it about 6 years. About 4 years ago a girl my age who was a former volunteer became a full time paid staff member. I see her maybe 3 times per month when I go up there. I don't ever see her outside the shelter, so while we're pretty well acquainted, we're not really close friends or anything.

She doesn't want to date you, and saying "maybe" was her way of saying no. Don't bring it up again.

And don't be bitter and unfriendly either. There are so many different reasons why a girl might say no to a question like that: she might have a boyfriend, you might not be her type, she might not want to date anyone right now, she might be a lesbian, she might not feel comfortable dating a coworker...

Well I see it like this: If you do nothing, nothing will happen, if she does nothing, nothing will happen, if you do something, then maybe something will happen.Is there anything to lose if you do something?

After utterly torturing me yesterday by taking off her t-shirt to work outside and wearing nothing but a black bra and jeans (there were extenuating circumstances, she doesn't usually do that sort of thing), today I saw her standing with a guy who was frequently stroking her head and rubbing her shoulder, so I can only assume he's her boyfriend since I've never seen her touchy with anyone else.

>>1: she's probably either a) the insecure type or b) still clinging on that ex that she dumped on the first place. at this point...i would bounce and keep the workplace relationship as co-workers only. however, if you still like her...i would try small talking with her. try talking about yourself and how the day goes. if anything, maybe try talking about your friends and family. when the conversation gets more and more insightful, she'll probably open up and mention y she's still wit her ex.
